4A Region 2 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Derrick Smith Goes Supernova in Fulton Win
Starting off the list is Fulton's Derrick Smith, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Smith picked up 142 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He has become a key player for Fulton: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Smith must have Seymour's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Smith picked up 214 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.

Albert Johnson Makes It Two for Fulton
Keeping Smith company is Albert Johnson, a fellow Fulton player. He rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 149 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Johnson and Fulton will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Carter at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. The last time Johnson took on the Green Hornets, he rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 32.00
Carter had to settle for second on Friday, but Gabriel Dennis sure wasn't going down easily. Dennis was unstoppable, making three total tackles. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 69 yards.
Carter is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. Dennis and Carter will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Fulton at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 31.60
Armenta Came Up Big in Carter's 42-28 Defeat

This year, Armenta has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 43.8 rushing yards per game.
